[-In the Golden Moon Pack-]

At her arrival, Selene shook the entire mansion due to her unexpected return.

​​

"Why won't Scarlett stop crying?" Selene worriedly pointed out with the rest.

No one could respond immediately because each individual was trying to register that Selene is alive and their Luna has returned.

Beta Garrett approached Selene and wanted to hug her but he has to keep himself from any scent of women attached to his clothes due to Athena's sensitivity.

Caused by her pregnancy.

"Scarlett is just overly emotional due to her hormones kicking in. She is expecting a baby …" Beta Garrett explained to Selene.

"Wow! Who is the unlucky guy?" Selene teased her friend.

Everyone laughed at the sudden teasing of Selene towards Scarlett.

Wiping her own tears before replying Selene's remark.

"You wouldn't believe it if we tell you." Scarlett replied.

"Try me!"

"It's …"

Both Lance and Caleb stated in unison, "I am the father!'

Both raising their hand at the same time as well.

Realizing that Scarlett has two mates.

"OH MY GOD! SCARLETT! 2 unlucky fellas!" Selene expressed her surprise.

Another round of laughter filled the entire garden.

Booth and Melody were surprised to see the effect of Selene's presence towards the present members of the Golden Moon Pack.

A huge difference from the usual aura and presence which Selene portrayed around the hunters.

…

"You are really alive and have returned to us …" Beta Garrett wanted to ask something else and inform Selene about something.

But Beta Garrett hesitated if it was the right thing to say at this blissful reunion.

Though, Selene could already sense based on Beta Garrett's expression.

Immediately, Selene diverted the moment and introduced her companions.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce to everyone. I guess most of you are acquainted with my older brother …" Selene started to re-introduce her older brother.

From a joyous and happy ambiance, others started to become serious.

At the same time, Lance and Caleb surrounded Scarlett in a protective mode.

It was understandable that most of the members of the Golden Moon Pack have a bad experience and a horrible encounter in the past with Lucas.

Melody noticed the change in the air.

And remembered the words which Chloe uttered during their interrogation in the dungeon.

She could see the tension from the eyes of the members of Golden Moon Pack.

Unexpectedly, Lucas felt the hand of Melody reaching for his.

Holding him tightly.

Emitting such warmth and comfort.

Lucas looked at Melody with gratitude and fondness.

He wanted to kiss her right at that moment but it was inappropriate to do so.

"I know, it's not easy to trust my older brother. But please! Will you give him this chance … I can vouch for him. This is Booth … a friend of mine!"

Selene had to discreetly keep the information of Booth being a hunter at the mean time because she was not prepared to deal with the questions and complaints of the members.

"We just came from the royal palace and we are kind of exhausted. A good rest would be highly appreciated."

At the mention of royal palace …

Everyone was worried for Selene.

But Selene gestured for them to calm down.

"We can talk about it tomorrow in the breakfast. Right now, we all need rest and continue with our reunion. Inform others to join us in the breakfast. But please … I highly request for everyone's discretion not to inform your Alpha King regarding my stay here at the moment. Or else I will be forced to move to another location. Is it possible? Can I rely on you all?" Selene requested from everyone in the Golden Moon Pack.

Others understood the situation with Selene and their Alpha King.

Nodding along to their Luna's request.

They were disappointed and saddened at the current complications between their Luna and their Alpha King.

There were too many things involved and entangled in the situation between the two lovers.

"Lady Sonja!!!" Selene hugged the chief of staff of the mansion.

The old she-wolf returned the hug of Selene.

"I missed you, Luna … I mean Selene!"

"I missed you too, Lady Sonja! We can catch up tomorrow. There are too many things to talk about. For now … Lady Sonja kindly assist them to the guest room. Melody will be staying with me … in the master's bedroom while my older brother, Booth and Fluffy will be using the guest room nearest to the master's bedroom."

"Of course! Gentlemen … will you please, follow me?" Lady Sonja gestured to the male companions of Selene.

"It's okay, Luke! Melody can sleep comfortably more when she's around me."

"But …"

"Remember, do not force yourself to her …" Selene reminded her older brother.

After few moments of hesitation, Lucas gave in and cooperated along with Selene's request.

"Phew! Finally, I can have some breathing space without your older brother constantly sticking around me." Melody expressed her relief.

"It is a werewolf thing. Soon, you will get used to it! For now, let us head to the master's bedroom. Garrett, will you do the honors?" Selene prompted for Beta Garrett to lead the way.

"My pleasure, Luna!" Beta Garrett complied with Selene's request.

He instructed others to return to their respective rooms.

Even Scarlett and her mates excused themselves to the Luna of the Golden Moon Pack.

Beta Garrett and the others have a lot of queries and questions to ask their Luna but they thought of giving Selene some time to rest before bombarding her with lots of questions.

…

At the sight of the door their master's bedroom, Selene stopped along the hallway.

"Garrett, I think I prefer to use my old room …" Selene tried her best to contain her tears from falling.

There was no need for Beta Garrett to ask.

He understood the reluctance of Selene to stay in the master's bedroom.

A room filled of remembrance and memories of what used to be …
